[Forgive me, I am unfamiliar with the phrase "at the helm."]
Brooke clasped a hand to her mouth as though she could scoop up her mistake and force it back within. "I'm sorry," she squeaked.
Justin said, "Athena has few children, but by some gravity, they tend to meet."

(At the helm is a euthemism for in charge or being in control, the ringmaster of this little circus.)
"Gravity... Indeed, such a word to mentioning in front of the lady, for she seems to be experiencing some." He clapped his remaining hand on her shoulder and used his powers in an attempt to reasure her. "You didn't know, and I take no offense."

[I see. I guessed as much, but I was unsure as to if it was some reference to motherhood or, even, the very birth of Athena.]
Justin went on. "Athena is the one who called upon me to join this quest. She has been very busy, of course, in her own affairs, though. There have been moments when she was able to assist."
"And Heracles' thread!" Brooke chimed in, still flushed with embarrassment.
"Ah, yes," explained Justin. "The thread of Heracles', so strong. It helped you to overcome the, er, sensation provided by Mobius. The hero, Heracles, was gifted. Just by a simple touch to his life-thread, one may "straighten things out" once more."
[I had a reasoning since the thread first came into play, you see, but I don't know if I've communicated it well enough.]

(Hehehehehe... 'thread.')
Mobius chuckled his bitter guffaw. "True, yet even the Mighty Hercules was won over, even he had his lust. I can also remember the similar case of Samson. My power is limited, but Father would be a good match for yonder yarn."

['yonder yarn.' hee hee]
"Agreed," Justin said.
"This spool is only a fraction of the great strength that he harnessed and, as you've noted, he was lost to his own want." Justin closed his eyes solemnly. "This is why Brooke shall not be allowed distraction."

"So THAT'S her name." He clasped Brooke's hand in his. "Brooke, I am terribly sorry for any tragedy that hath befallen you as you were caught in the middle of this. As recompense, I cannot promise the most wise solution... But I shall speak with Uncles Tzeentch and Nurgle and see what kind of aid I can enlist."

Gods...and their children...magical swords....what the...
Elsa listened to their stories, still not quite understanding what was going on. She backed away from the others a little to study the room in peace.

"Thank you," Brooke answered, unsure.
Justin took Mobius aside and spoke low. "Thank you for your support, but you cannot get to close. When the time comes, the god's have instructed that her emotion be taken away." The blind man turned his gaze, hauntingly, in Brooke's direction. The girl was sitting at a table arranging and rearranging objects upon it as to create different scenes. "I wish it weren't so."

Elsa glanced thankfully at Mobius and nodded at him.
"You're right. The first thing I would like to know is...."
She kept a little pause to think, opening and closing her mouth occasionally to say something. However she couldn't get any words out in a while...there really wasn't anything solid to start from. All of this felt like a dream to her and felt very confusing.
"I want to know everything", she concluded her sentence clumsily.

Mobius spoke gravely to Justin. "Is there not one among the gods who disagrees? I'm sure Aphrodite can save her. Besides, Father said he and Aphrodite go way back, and I'm sure they can arrange something..." He then turned to Elsa. "Whose side of the story would you like first?"
